[verse 1]
some people say a man’s made outta mud
a poor man’s made outta muscle and blood
muscle and blood and skin and bones
a mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong

[chorus]
you load sixteen tons, what do you get?
another day older and deeper in debt
saint peter, don’t you call me ’cause i can’t go
i owe my soul to the company store

[verse 2]
i was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine
i picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine
i loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
and the straw boss hollered “well, bless my soul”

[chorus]
you load sixteen tons, what do you get?
another day older and deeper in debt
saint peter, don’t you call me ’cause i can’t go
i owe my soul to the company store

[verse 3]
i woke up one mornin’ in the drizzlin’ rain
fightin’ and trouble is my middle name
i was raised in the bottoms by an ol’ mama hound
i’m as mean as a dog and i’m as gentle as a hound

[chorus]
you load sixteen tons, what do you get?
another day older and deeper in debt
saint peter, don’t you call me ’cause i can’t go
i owe my soul to the company store

[verse 4]
if you see me comin’, you’d better step aside
a lotta men didn’t, and a lotta men died
i got one fist of iron and the next fist of steel
if the right one don’t get you, then the left one will

[chorus]
you load sixteen tons, what do you get?
another day older and deeper in debt
saint peter, don’t you call me ’cause i can’t go
i owe my soul to the company store

[chorus]
you load sixteen tons, what do you get?
another day older and deeper in debt
saint peter, don’t you call me ’cause i can’t go
i owe my soul to the company store
yes, i owe my soul to the company store
yes, i owe my soul to the company store
